According to OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), when stacking empty pallets for storage or transportation, the stack should not exceed 15 feet in height, which will be about 20 to 25 pallets (each pallet is between 5- and 7-inches tall). When loading a pallet with goods, the load should not exceed 60 inches in height for shipping. In warehouses, 72 inches is the maximum height. In accordance with OSHA standards, pallets cannot be loaded to any height which may be unsafe for workers loading, unloading, and unstacking the pallets.

A four-way pallet is designed to be picked up by a forklift on all four sides, versus the standard two-sided pallets. Wooden pallets are two-tiered, with a top and a bottom and roughly a 6 ½ inch space between them. A forklift’s prongs can slide inside either of the two open sides. The other two sides contain stringer boards, which are basically wood sides that create strength and stability. In a four way pallet, the stringer boards have notches removed that allow the forklift’s prongs to slide in and pick up the pallet. Two-sided pallets do not have that.
